Dark Chocolate from Your Williamson Chiropractor

02/07/2012

Alright, Apple Country Chiropractic can't give you a piece of chocolate via the computer, but we can share some of its advantages with you.

First of all, chocolate is good for you, especially the dark chocolate kind. We could believe it either! Could that be why 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day? (1) Not really, but your Williamson chiropractor hopes you get one full of dark chocolates!

Chocolate and its primary ingredient, cocoa, have advantageous results for your heart, mind and body.

Cocoa has approximately 4 times higher antioxidant capacity than green tea and twice that of red wine. (2) The anti-oxidant flavanols encountered in cocoa beans decreases cell damage in heart disease and help reduce blood pressure. (4,6)

The anti-oxidants and the larger magnesium content in dark chocolate may help with constipation problems and even speed up bowel movements! (2,5) We chiropractors know that constipation when you have back pain isn't good!

These findings are why Apple Country Chiropractic can accept the enjoyment of dark chocolate...in moderation, of course. Mood, memory, brain function, heart, immune system and stress reduction may all benefit as well. (2) Whose day isn't taken up a notch with a piece of chocolate?!

Apple Country Chiropractic stands firm that not all nutrition has to be in pill form or even boring food form.
